This book examines the causes of the war and charts Cromwell’s campaign in Scotland from the landing of Charles II in northern Scotland to the fall of Dunottar Castle two years later. It addresses the causes of the war, shows how the king’s power was slowly established over the Scottish government, underlines the differences in aims between the king, who was intent on invading England, and the Scots, who wanted to resist English invasion, and the devastating consequences that resulted. Throughout, equal importance is laid on military events and the political dimension.
John D. Grainger is an Anglo-Scot and an historian with a special interest in political and military affairs, ancient and modern.
